Exam P General Probability practice problems

Topic orientation

What this topic tests

General Probability connects event algebra, conditional probability, independence, counting, and Bayes’ theorem. The main work is usually translating a verbal experiment into events whose intersections and complements can be calculated cleanly.

Exam questions often hide the decisive denominator or conditioning event inside the setup. A strong solution names the event first, checks that the pieces form a valid probability model, and only then substitutes numbers.
